Important
Check the result before relying on it
Review generated output before using it in production. Formatters and converters can validate structure, but they cannot understand every application-specific rule or guarantee that transformed content has the intended meaning.
Practical details
What this Lucaden tool does
The validator uses the browser XML parser to catch malformed tags and then applies indentation without evaluating external entities. It is suitable for API payloads, feeds, configuration, and document fragments.
Lucaden performs this task in the browser so the source stays under your control. The result is created only after you request it, and nothing is saved to a Lucaden account by this tool.

Questions
About this tool
Does this resolve external entities?
No. The browser parser works on the supplied string and this tool does not fetch referenced resources.
Will mixed text content format perfectly?
Mixed inline text and nested tags can be sensitive to whitespace. Review formatted output before using it in a whitespace-significant system.
